Before I end my lunch break...
The diet, which really is just cutting back on the fillers in my eating, is going well.
I think the weirdest part of my journey to get healthy is that I rarely have any drugs of any kind in my system, aside from the occasional high and weekend drinking. I don't take hormonal birth control. I am un-medicated for my issues with anxiety and depression. I don't smoke cigarettes any more. I rarely have any caffeine. The only medications I ever really take is the occasional antacid or non-steroid nasal spray, and those times are few and far between. The only thing I take regularly is a multi-vitamin.
So, if you ever doubted that I am, in fact, Super Woman, take into account that I worked night shift for four months, from 11-7 a.m., and I am only on my third week of day shift 8:30-4:30. AND I don't drink coffee in the mornings or at lunch any more. I'm really just trying to train my body to do what it's supposed to do without dependency on substances. I'm sure it makes me crazy, but it seems to be working, regardless.
I am still working out four days a week. I think that since I set the goal to lose 5 lbs every month until May, I will make an entry at the end of each month updating the totals for my purposes. Sure, it's boring to read, but I like keeping records of things.
I have been really anxious lately. I've started to wonder if I have PMDD or if it's just my body readjusting to going through real PMS again. I always get the most anxious right before my period. I am working really hard to deal with these feelings/thoughts.
The good news is that I am starting to feel more like myself, slowly but surely. I seem to be doing more of the things I love.
